N64 recommendations?

[SwooshBear]

The fact that folks bash the n64 controller so much while they praise the dreamcast's is something I'll never understand... only thing I ever disliked about the n64 controller was its terrible control stick that broke all the time.

they BOTH suck.

Is there a decent N64 arcade stick and/or third party controller?

I agree with Dsheinem, i hate the dreamcast controller. Its like a messed up xbox controller, dreamcast and original xbox have so many similarities i thought xbox was dreamcast 2 when i was a kid. and the n64 analog is the worst analog i've ever seen

SuperPad 64 Plus and the Hori minis (which look uncomfortably small to me).

You know, the xbox being the dreamcast 2 might not be too terribly far off... Microsoft did have a working relationship with Sega and I recall someone finding some piece of testing software for the xbox that featured a dreamcast-esque swirl as one of the render tests...

Anyhow, I actually like the xbox S controller more than the DC one. The original xbox controller however...

Ya the original xbox controller is the one with the big Xbox logo in the middle right? and a friend of mine pointed out how many dreamcast series were put on the xbox, like crazy taxi and whatnot, which doesnt surprise me.

yup, side by side. Original is the HUGE one.

I second Battle Tanks Global Assault! It is a great multiplayer game.

I just found out about "Battletanx 3" on Sunday. 3do made World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks on the PSX and PS2, they both feature the tanks from Battletanx and similar stages and spot on gameplay. I need a copy of the PS2 version:

they BOTH suck.

Hori minis are a bit small, but they are quite functional. Arcade stick wise you have the Arcade shark and thats it. It is a nice stick, just not worth the $40 it goes for constantly and yes it is modable. I want four of them for Asteroids, but thats me being cheeky.

How is Asteroids 64? I've seen it for $3.

[fastbilly1]

If you like the original, it is just that but prettier and coop. There is also a deathmatch mode. Well worth $3. I paid $5 for mine and when I was at a buddies tried it with the arcade shark, afterwards I really wanted one. If I am not mistaken you can play the game with the dpad, so a great game when your sticks are dead.

LOL I only have the newer ones, but i always hear my friends complain about how big the original ones are. i actually prefer this 3rd party controller i have that has the black and white buttons as bumpers or l1 and r1. it also has a 9 ft cord i think XD

really? Can you post a picture of it? That sounds really interesting to me. Who made it?
